There are occasions, when the top menu -- applicable for selected objects -- is not shown, see screenshot. When that happens, no object can be selected by a single tap. Eventually, the top menu appears and afterwards selection by one tap is available on any object.
What is the expected correct behavior?
No delay in appearing the top menu That may repair also the possibility to tap the second and other images.
